City council to hear from school superintendent

Body
The Fort Stockton Independent School District’s Agricultural Sciences Ag Barn discussion will make its way to Fort Stockton City Hall Thursday night when FSISD Superintendent Dr. Gabriel Zamora will make a presentation to the Fort Stockton City Council on the proposed location of the new ag barn the district plans to build. The school board decided in January that it wanted to build the new facility on school property adjacent to Fort Stockton High School, but that would require variances from the city because of livestock located within city limits.
